The Canyon RV Resort & Campground is Radium's shangri la - a green oasis in the heart of town, hidden from view and protected from road noise by the most gorgeous forest of trees. Big horned sheep and mule deer graze among the sites and the gentle sounds of tumbling Sinclair Creek lull you to sleep. The sites have been so well developed, tucked into the topography, large enough for privacy with a paved patio surrounded by lush green grass and a gravel parking spot. The owners and staff are really friendly and keep the whole park so organized and tidy with the cleanest washrooms/free showers and the washers are the cheapest we ever used at $2. Beyond that, the scenery is spectacular with a view of Mt Berland, the Brisco Range and Sinclair Canyon plus craggy Hoodoos. Great job, Team Canyon!!

Beautiful campground, but poor customer service. Booked a site for my family weeks in advance, picking a site that worked best for our family. This site was confirmed and booked by Canyon RV the same day it was requested. Weeks later, with two days notice we were advised that our site was changed to one which was not ideal (very close to the other trailers, some sort of building or storage shed on the site and by a road with more traffic). We were told we were moved because the people staying ahead of our reservation at the site we booked wanted to extend their stay at the last minute and they didn’t want to move sites, so our reservation was changed. We were advised that they looked to see if we had stayed there before and since we appeared to be ”new” customers they had no issue with moving us and letting us know after the fact. When we reached out to discuss our disappointment we were told they need to maximize occupancy and would cancel our reservation as they didn’t think they were a ”good fit” for our family. While I understand there is a clause in their booking agreement that allows them to substitute sites, I assumed this would be due to a site not being operational, not because someone wanted additional days added on to their stay near the end of their booking - at the expense of others who booked well in advance. I would describe our interactions with the staff/owner as defensive and confrontational, despite initially reaching out for clarification and to gain understanding. I did get a response, however no remedy to the situation was made and our camping plans this weekend were cancelled as a result (the reply stated they ”completely missed the message that Site 55 was the only site in the campground that would accommodate your family”, and is hard to determine this is genuine or sarcastic with how it is worded). Sad experience as I have always had good dealings and memories here previously, and disappointed that I will likely not return with my family as a result of how we were treated. There are many beautiful places to camp in Alberta and BC and we are happy to give our business to places that are kind and thoughtful in their interactions and dealings with customers.

What a beautifully maintained campground... The staff were gracious and professional, friendly and helpful. It's a very pretty spot. The washrooms and showers immaculate! It was quiet and everyone respected the rules. The only reason for not giving a 5 is that we were in #82 and very close to our neighbor. It's not what I'm accustomed to as far as camping goes. We will scope out larger sites and try that next time. Thanks for the lovely time!

Rolled in with our trailer thinking we had a reservation but I messed up and we did not. The young lady, Brooklyn, was so amenable and kind she was able to work it out for us. Marvelous RV camp ground just outside the village and down in the canyon by Sinclair Creek that runs right through the campground. Green and lush it's like a golf course! 😁. Huge sites well spaced and landscaped Green grass everywhere just a delight to walk around. Washrooms are nice and they are clean ( they could use seats in the showers though as old folks need to sit to get their shoes on and off safely). There is a path from the campground up to the village that's not far. Peaceful and Quiet down there. This place is a gem and we'll cared for. We Love it here, Recommend 👍

Highly recommend!! We recently stayed here for two nights and didn’t want to leave! We were in #23 and loved how we had our own little plot of grass, tree and privacy with the shrubs between sites! The grounds are very well maintained and the staff are super friendly! There is a reason availability is hard to come by here. Beautiful all around! 10/10!!😍
